Sin-Colored Microdermal Tops for Dermal Piercings & Surface PiercingsBody piercings are much more widely accepted than ever before in western cultures, but there are still times when people need to disguise their piercings for work or to appease a conservative family member. There may also be times you need to insert a non-metallic piercing retainer before having a test like an MRI or another medical procedure. Piercing retainers, although not completely invisible, can help minimize the appearance or potential negative impact of a body piercing for such situations.

When You Can Wear Piercing Retainers

Clear Septum Piercing RetainerYou should wait until your piercing is fully healed before inserting a flesh-colored or clear piercing retainer. Depending on the piercing, you may need to wait anywhere from 6 weeks to 9 months or more. For instance, earlobe piercings that have been stretched can typically accept an ear piercing retainer within a month to 6 weeks, but a cartilage piercing may need 7 months or more before it will comfortably tolerate a piercing retainer.
